It will be the first in-person premiere for the program since 2019, before the pandemic, and continues a distinguished tradition of producing documentaries that shine a light on important environmental issues. Free tickets for the , though space is limited.

Tide to Table documents how oysters rely on the ebb and flow of the tide for flavor. One oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day; their survival is determined by their farmers, deeply rooted in their tradition and connection to the sea. The documentary, filmed on-location across the flats of Cape Cod, the shores of Connecticut����vlog����Ƶ�s Long Island Sound, and the urban waterways of New York City, features scientists, historians, shellfish constables, and farmers. It explores the serendipitous relationship between nature, oyster farmers, modern aquaculture technology, and a movement to better understand their ecological value, while showing how oysters are thriving in areas such as Cape Cod and being restored in once depleted regions such as Connecticut and New York City as a means of improving water quality.

����vlog����Ƶ�The PaceDocs team, under the leadership of Professor Maria Luskay, has once again produced an extraordinary, meaningful, and professional film,����vlog����Ƶ� said Marvin Krislov, president of ����vlog����Ƶ. ����vlog����Ƶ� ����vlog����Ƶ�Tide to Table����vlog����Ƶ� is another great example of the hands-on experience and valuable environmental lessons that Pace students receive when they take this course.

����vlog����Ƶ�It����vlog����Ƶ�s gratifying to be filming with students on location and sharing this experience with them once again,����vlog����Ƶ� said Professor Luskay. ����vlog����Ƶ�Throughout it all, we brought together a diverse group of students with a full schedule of work.

It was an incredibly rewarding experience for us.����vlog����Ƶ�

����vlog����Ƶ�This was great hands-on experience,����vlog����Ƶ� said Nicole Manning, a digital cinema and filmmaking major from New Fairfield, Conn. who is exploring careers in film and television production. ����vlog����Ƶ�This is the most practical and productive class you can take because you have to think like a professional and apply skills you����vlog����Ƶ�ve learned in class.
